Ming Wah (明華餅家) is the kind of local Chinese bakery does everything well. Located in the heart of…read moreMongkok, they are truly hard to beat: no pretension, awesome prices, efficient service, and above all, delicious products. I honestly wish all bakeries could operate the way they do. There are no English signs and the workers do not speak much English at all. (#1) The place is old school and super local. Instead of grabbing a tray and serving yourself, in this setup the items are out on display in tubs and you point to each one that you want the worker to package for you. There is always a crowd here, so items run out quick. I love their version of the egg tart (蛋撻) and the wife cake (老婆餅) is one of the best I've had. A popular pastry is their hot dog pastry (腸仔包), which is fluffy and almost buttery with every bite. They have an awesome variety of shao bing (燒餅), which they bake and grill almost looking like stuffed pancakes, but they're usually filled with a sweeter ingredient such as bean paste (豆沙), sweetened custard (奶黃), azuki / red bean (紅豆), just to name a few. Everything ranges from $3-7 HKD, which in my book is extremely affordable. Try to target the items you want ahead of time and be sure to bring cash. I wouldn't bother calling ahead of time and I would suggest being patient with the staff when the crowds are fierce. ___________ (#1) If you can't rock the 廣東話, be prepared to point.

Love, love, love this traditional Chinese bakery in Mong Kok…read more So lucky to have Jacky from This is Asia Tours bring us to this gem on our all day exploration of Hong Kong. Since 1984, the bakery focuses on traditional treats. Loved the banana cake which is light and addictively delicious. The pan fried mochi with sesame seeds is so unique. The shop has a decent line that moves quickly. No surprise that it has been Michelin recommended and featured on Netflix. Next time, I'll try the wife cake.

Holy Crap. Probably one of the best chocolate cakes I ever had, and definitely the best cake I've…read morehad in Hong Kong. I got the Chocolate Craquelin which is a dark chocolate cake with almond on the bottom layer. It was so good and super decadent. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because it's pretty expensive, especially by HK standards. Oh, also, the location is a bit hidden in the K11 building. It's on the outside portion of the building in an alley.

After dinner at Spring Deer, we walked from Mody Road to Hau Fook Street within 20 mins. We hadn't digested the dinner and need to be ready for dessert. The menu selection was great, we almost wanted to all everything. My hubby joked to my friend that he might have allodoxaphobia if he has to pick the dessert. LOL Chocolate soufflé - It's light and fluffy. However, the chocolate taste was so bland. Mango and pomelo sago cream - Mango was so fresh and sweet but Pomelo just a bit sour to me. Mango sago with Durian ice cream - Mango and durian are my hubby's flavour. We rarely can eat fresh durian in Vancouver. My hubby just finished his own dessert without sharing. I believed it should be good. We're so satisfied on our first day in HK.

However, steer away from their Seafood Paella - amazingly bland and didn't taste like paella at all. Some of their restaurant seating is in the entry lobby of the Western Market which may be a little too open for some but in my opinion the market is beautiful and I don't mind it. The bakery offers a range of beautiful pastries and the aroma is just so great in the mornings.
